In the twelve chapters of the Analects of Confucius, benevolence, righteousness and propriety were closely related. Benevolence was the core idea. It was a kind of inner moral cultivation, which was reflected in love, respect, tolerance, and so on. Only when a person had a benevolent heart would he have moral behavior. Ritual was the external code of conduct and the standard of social order. Confucius devoted his whole life to restoring the rites of the Zhou Dynasty. The rites regulated the social order through a series of ethical relations such as etiquette, etiquette, and etiquette. However, the practice of rites needed to be based on benevolence. If people lacked benevolence, rites might become a formality, that is,"if people are not benevolent, what about rites?" Righteousness could be understood as the standard of doing things. It was the standard to judge right from wrong, good from evil, on the basis of benevolence. In the process of following the rites, righteousness played an important guiding role, making people's behavior conform to the requirements of moral justice within the framework of the rites. In general, benevolence was the foundation and the inner spiritual realm; propriety was the external manifestation that regulated people's behavior; righteousness was between benevolence and propriety, ensuring that people's behavior met the internal requirements of benevolence and followed the external norms of propriety. The three were interconnected, and together, they constructed the moral and social order system advocated by Confucianism. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
"The Analects of Confucius·Liren Chapter" contains many important categories, principles, and theories of Confucianism. The following are some of the main points of appreciation: * * I. Pay attention to the influence of environment and friends on personal cultivation ** 1. * * Living environment and choice of friends ** - Confucius said,"Benevolence is the most beautiful thing in the village. If you choose not to live in benevolence, how can you know?" He emphasized that it was wise to live with benevolent people. This reflected the Confucianists 'belief that one's moral cultivation was closely related to the external environment. Choosing to be neighbors with benevolent people, it was easier to cultivate benevolent sentiments under the influence of the environment, which reflected the potential shaping effect of the environment on people. 2. * * Explain the impact from both sides ** - On the other hand,"the unkind cannot live in peace for a long time, nor can they live in happiness" means that people who lack benevolence and virtue cannot live in poverty or happiness for a long time, otherwise they will easily make trouble or indulge in extravagance and debauchery. On the positive side,"benevolent people are benevolent, and wise people are benevolent." Benevolent people are content with benevolence, and wise people know that benevolence is beneficial to themselves and practice benevolence. * * 2. The relationship between benevolence and love and hate ** 1. * * The correct view of love and hate comes from benevolence ** - "Only a benevolent person can be good and evil" pointed out that only a benevolent person could love and hate people correctly. The benevolence of Confucianism was not simply about loving others. Love and hate existed in opposition. When one reached the realm of benevolence, there would be a correct standard of love and hate. 2. * * The relationship between benevolence and moral behavior ** - "If one is determined to be benevolent, there will be no evil." It meant that if one was determined to be benevolent, he would not do bad things. Cultivating benevolence can avoid bad behaviors such as rebellion, evil, extravagance and debauchery, but do good deeds that are beneficial to the country and the people. * * 3. Balance between wealth, status, and benevolence ** 1. * * The importance of the method of obtaining it ** - "Wealth and nobility are what people want. If you don't get them by the right way, you won't live in them. Poor and lowly are what people hate. If you don't get them by the right way, you won't leave." It reflected the Confucian attitude towards wealth and status. Wealth and status, though desired by all, should not be enjoyed if not obtained through proper means; poverty and humbleness, though detested by men, should not be shaken off unless they were shaken off by proper means. 2. * * Benevolence runs through ** - "If a gentleman leaves benevolence, how can he become famous? A gentleman would not violate benevolence at the end of a meal. He would do so when he was in a hurry, and he would do so when he was in trouble. He emphasized that a gentleman could not abandon benevolence. Even if it was just a short meal, he could not violate benevolence. He must stick to benevolence when he was in a hurry and when he was in a hurry. This showed that benevolence was the foundation of a gentleman's reputation, and it had to be practiced consistently. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Confucius 'Analects of Confucius was a book that recorded the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples. It contained many stories about benevolence, righteousness and morality. The following are some examples: In the Analects of Confucius, Duke Ling of Wei, Zi Lu, a disciple of Confucius, asked Confucius,"How can he be called a scholar?" Confucius replied,"It is shameful to act in one's own way." Zilu believed that this sentence meant that one should have a sense of shame and try their best to conform to moral norms. In the Analects of Confucius, Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius, asked Confucius,"How can he be called a scholar?" Confucius replied,"Having enough food and enough soldiers is not enough to be a scholar." Yan Hui believed that this sentence meant that one had to have sufficient material conditions and military strength to be called a scholar. 3. In the Analects of Confucius, Gongye Chang, Confucius 'disciple Zi Gong asked Confucius,"A scholar who is determined to pursue the Tao but is ashamed of eating and wearing coarse clothes is not worthy of discussion." Confucius replied,"A man who is devoted to the Tao will not feel remorse for the lack of food, nor will he feel ashamed for the lack of clothes and food." Such a person can discuss problems with him." These stories emphasized the importance of benevolence, righteousness, and morality and demonstrated the values and code of conduct of Confucius and his disciples.
In the 12 chapters of the Analects of Confucius, the sentences that reflect benevolence are: "If a person is not benevolent, what about etiquette?" If a man is not benevolent, what can he do?" It emphasized that if a person did not have a benevolent heart, it would be meaningless to abide by etiquette and play music.(Benevolence can be regarded as a kind of truth), reflecting the importance of benevolence;"A gentleman understands righteousness, and a villain understands profit", from the comparison of the value orientation of a gentleman and a villain, it reflects the gentleman's pursuit of benevolence (righteousness);"Seeing the virtuous and thinking of it, seeing the unvirtuous and reflecting on it." This kind of learning from the virtuous and kind quality and self-reflection attitude is also the embodiment of benevolence;"Quality is better than literature, it is wild, literature is better than quality, it is history." Gentleman, then a gentleman."The definition of a gentleman here contained the concept of benevolence. Zengzi said," A scholar must be resolute. He has a long way to go." Isn't it important to take benevolence as your duty? Is it not far from death?" He clearly pointed out that taking benevolence as his own duty reflected the importance of benevolence. The principle of forgiveness,"Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you", was also a manifestation of benevolence."A gentleman does not ask for satisfaction when eating, does not ask for peace when living, is sensitive to things and cautious in words, and is righteous." This kind of self-cultivation requirements and pursuit of Tao (including benevolence) also reflected benevolence; Yan Yuan asked about benevolence, Confucius said,"Self-restraint and propriety are benevolence." If you can restrain yourself and restore propriety, the world will return to benevolence. Is it because of oneself that benevolence is achieved, and because of others?" As well as "do not see, do not hear, do not speak, and do not move", it explained the meaning of benevolence and the way to realize it, which was also the content of benevolence. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Confucius had always emphasized the combination of learning and thinking. He proposed that "learning without thinking is lost, thinking without learning is dangerous"(The Analects of Confucius, Political Affairs). Learning without thinking will be confused and unclear, thinking without learning will be empty and unreal. This point of view reflected his idea of combining learning and thinking. Confucius used his own personal experience to warn his students: "I once did not eat all day and did not sleep all night. It is useless to think. It is better to learn." This showed that he recognized that learning was the foundation of thinking. If he left learning to think, the result would be futile. On the other hand, Confucius emphasized the importance of thinking and opposed learning without thinking. He said,"A gentleman has nine thoughts: see Siming, listen to Cong, look gentle, look respectful, speak loyal, do things respectful, doubt ask, anger think difficult, see righteousness"(The Analects of Confucius, Ji Shi). He advocated that thinking should be used in everything and everywhere, and strongly opposed "eating all day long and having no intention"(The Analects of Confucius, Yang Huo). Zi Xia, a student of Confucius, also put forward the proposition of "erudite and devoted, asking questions and thinking"(The Analects of Confucius, Zi Zhang), which clearly summarized the law of "learning","asking" and "thinking". Confucius 'learning had a direction, first learning virtue, then learning literature; Thinking also had a direction, first thinking about self-cultivation, then thinking about cultivation. Thought and action are combined, thought and social life are combined. Learning was not boundless learning, and thinking was not boundless thinking. Learning has a direction, thinking has a purpose. Only in this way could one understand the true meaning of Confucius 'combination of learning and thinking. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The third-year students could start from the following simple aspects to write their thoughts and feelings about the "benevolence" in the Analects of Confucius: ** I. Understand the basic meaning of "benevolence"** 1. ** Be kind ** - In life, benevolence could be used to treat the little companions around him kindly. Just like in school, taking the initiative to share your snacks with your classmates, or helping your classmates pick up the stationery that fell on the ground, this was a small display of " benevolence." Because being friendly and willing to help others is a manifestation of the benevolent loving people. When we care about others and do small things for others, it is just like what Confucius said, we have the quality of benevolence. 2. ** Forgiveness and understanding ** - Sometimes, our friends might accidentally do something wrong, such as accidentally knocking over the building blocks we had set up while playing. At this time, if we can forgive him instead of blaming him angrily, this is also benevolence. Just like the Analects of Confucius said," forgive " and " don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." We don't want to be severely criticized by others because of our careless mistakes, so we shouldn't treat others like this. ** 2. Connecting examples in life ** 1. ** Benevolence in the Family ** - In the family, listening to your parents and not being willful and mischievous was also a kind of benevolence. For example, when his parents were busy, he would quietly read a book or do some simple housework, such as tidying up his small desk. This is an expression of our love for our family, just as benevolence is an intrinsic good character. We show our love for our family through these small actions. 2. ** Benevolence in the class ** - In the class, everyone working hard for honor was also a manifestation of benevolence. For example, during the tug-of-war competition, every student would exert their strength and work hard for the class 'victory. At this time, everyone would be united and encourage each other. This kind of unity and mutual help had the shadow of benevolence. ** 3. Think about how you can be benevolent ** 1. ** Starting from myself ** - We can think about how we can become a benevolent person in our daily lives. For example, he reminded himself to smile at others every day, communicate more with his classmates, and take the initiative to help others when they needed help. We can set some small goals for ourselves, such as doing a good deed to help others every day, so that we can slowly cultivate our "benevolence" quality. 2. ** Learn from others ** - He could also think about the people around him who had the quality of benevolence and learn from them. Perhaps it was a teacher who patiently taught us, or a classmate who was always willing to share his stories and knowledge. By learning from their strengths, we can also become more "benevolent". <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
